PARENTS are people to..
When I was about seven years old, I remember my parents talking about the night they met at a bar in London and their (slightly different) versions of events. They talked about the decade that followed, involving travel, friends, and living in a lovely flat in West London. They reminisced about their lives and jobs at the time, and what it was like living together for the first time.
